On Holiday. East West-Coast America

Anyone hints, tips, guides for a drive-trip to the eastcoast westcoast ofAmerica: LV, LA, SF, National Parks etc.. ?
Organisation, Rental Car, Hotels?

Update:
Back in 2001 I flew together with my brother from Hawaii to LA, than we hired a car and camped nearby the 101 on a campground in a tent. Than driving to SF over the Golden Gate Bridge to Olema. From there we went to the NP’s and had to drive back to SF again to fly to LV from there flying to LA to NY ..

So I have a little experience where to go and I thank anyone for hints and tips, but more info I need about: hotels, rental car(s), vouchers, etc.. so the best places to stay for the best possible price ;-)

  1. How much time and money do you have? What are your interests? What are some “must see” things for you? When will you visit?

    What part of the U.S. West Coast will you be at? San Francisco to Los Angeles is 640 km. That’s about the distance between Hamburg and Brussels.

    Some quick suggestions: Disneyland and/or Universal Studios tour. Las Vegas is okay in a weird, plastic consumerist kind of way. Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam are must see items in my book. If you’re into nature, Death Valley, Yosemite, Mt Whitney, and Tahoe are all good places to see. Monterey Bay Aquarium (west of San Francisco) is amazing. San Diego Zoo is good. Feel free to write if you want more details.

    Een goed bewaard geheim aan de westkust is Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. Vond ik persoonlijk heel apart. We troffen het ook wel heel erg met het weer, het was een strakblauwe dag, en compleet windstil. Een bijna surrealistische ervaring. Het is de omweg zeker waard!! Een overnachting in de Crater Lake Lodge is een ervaring op zich, als je ‘s avonds een stukje van de lodge afloopt en je hebt het geluk dat het een onbewolkte avond is, zie je dankzij de grote duisternis meer sterren dan je in Nederland ooit zult zien.

    Buiten dat is de Grand Canyon natuurlijk een must. Maak dan ook vooral een rondvlucht.
